Question
Solve the equation
x=0
Evaluate
30x=2(x+50)×20−2000
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
2(x+50)×20−2000
Multiply the terms
40(x+50)−2000
Rewrite the expression
40x+2000−2000
Since two opposites add up to 0,remove them form the expression
40x
30x=40x
Add or subtract both sides
30x−40x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
30x−40x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(30−40)x
Subtract the numbers
−10x
−10x=0
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
10x=0
Solution
x=0
